hi and to ask a question

hi everyone i am maggie.
well some of the things i see on here are really good. the few poems i have put on here. i dont think they are very good. i wrote songs for years and years. then i found this site( the web address in the writers hangbook 2002! i would say to anyone if you can get a copy) i was amazing that people look at my poems. you know putting pen to paper or even sitting at a computer is a loney thing. because in the end the only one who can put down a poem or a stories is you the writer and no one else.
back in 2000 people told me to write the stories about a subject i do, everyone love it. from the young to the old. so i wrote my stories down. one was 23,000 words ( not long i know) and other one of about mmmm 30,000 words. when i wrote them down i could see everything the movment of the people in the stories,, the colours the way they talk how they were feeling the whole lot and sometimes i have to say when i would read people the storied i myself could not wait until the next word to see what was going to come next. i was in the stories living them each and every word. a real buzz.
well they had a start a middle and a end, it was not easy people say i have a great imagtion. so they i was two great stories( or books as i like to call them, i dont think they enough for a book but still that what i call them lol) and i was looking for someone to proof read not easy when you dont know anyone who could do it for you, re reading them, re writing them, the hold lot. but then a sad time my brother died a few months back, and it just stop... i was thinking i lost it all, my soul my spirit as a writer was gone, my music and me playing the guitar came my soul came into my musice. but as for the writing it was gone. to many passing in our family this year. but out of sadness come hope. and the will and the fight to start again. i am under no great dream of hey the next harry pottey thing. i just go with the flowe and see what life bring me. i cant wait for the ride. sorry if this has gone on a bit but i wanted to be honest and write what i feel about my writting, to people who understand what a loney hard work, a lot of dissapointment and a lot of joy writing can be. now my spelling is to say mmmma bit mmmm well over all the place, yes i do use spell cheak( great thing mr gates) but my question is as i love to tell peopel my stories, what about youtube, how would the copywrite work on there could anyone take my stories and say they are they own. i just think me telling my stories they would come alive more. i would just like to share them with people. but as i said i want to know if people think it a good idea or a bad one. i will still be working to get my work into print( yean i am really looking forward to those 10,000 slips that say no thank your writing is a lot of beeps, i am thinking of wallpapering my front room with them when i get them lol) but its a new year and i want to try something diffrent.
well i said my bit. how every crazy it may sound, i am just aksing for anyone out there advice. good or bad. if i can make someone laugh for a second or two all well and good.

all keep working hard and good lucky to each and everyone of you with your work bless you all

Hi Maggie, Your spelling really is atrocious! Your work has an honesty and drive all of its own but it is let down by the grammar, punctuation and grammar so you really do need to find someone with the time and energy to re-write it all before you submit it to anyone. Keep writing - the more the you write, the better it will get, but don't expect to succeed overnight. It's a long, hard road! Good luck in finding a good sub.
thank you for your note. yes i know about all three things you have said. and yes i agree the more i write the better i will become. i found that in my songwriting as well. and i dont expect the over night thing. i have been doing songs since i was 15 and at 46 now i have to say that i write better lyrice now then i did then. yes you have to work at it. i call it a art. i move from writing lyrice to poems and stories. i am putting my feet in the pond of life and see what it brings. it is very hard for me to find someone to re cheak everything i do. but i am doing my best, witht he stress i got. thank you again for your note maggie
